> ContextBase not deserialized correctly

> When deserializing ContextBase, the transient property _descriptors_ isn't deserialized. The comment in the code says that those fields should be filled in by the non argument constructor, but this isn't correct.
> Because ContextBase extends HashMap, which implements the Serialisable-interface, it's not the constructor of ContextBase that is called but the non-argument constructor of AbstractMap (superclass of HashMap and the first superclass which doesn't implement Serialisable).
> Therefore the initialize method of ContextBase is never called when a ContextBase-object is deserialized and the _descriptors_-property is never set.
